Mountain biking
You are now in the mountains! Really in the mountains. The Pierre du Roi route is a wild and unmaintained descent, with more than 1,800 meters of vertical drop. It's a demanding trail, with technical sections, rocks, jumps and some unpredictability, but also, you'll be rewarded with some of the best descents Europe has to offer, and some of the best views too. There are very few places in the world where you can have a mountain biking experience like this, so be sure to check it out if you're feeling brave.
